Lima Shines in Any Weather
Twelve degrees south of the equator, where the Humboldt Current meets the Andes, Lima's misty mornings and coastal charm reveal a city that rewards the curious traveler.
Lima's Weather, Explained
Sitting just 12 degrees south of the equator, Lima's climate isn't quite what most people think. The city sits on the Pacific coast with the Andes Mountains rising inland, and the Humboldt Current cools any heat from the tropical sun while creating humidity and mist. In summer, warm mornings offer beautiful views across the city. In winter, you might wake to mist that takes a couple of hours to clear. But here's the thing: bad weather in Lima doesn't mean a bad experience. The City of Kings has too much to offer.
